About Sisu

Sisu has a soft heart and a silly streak, happiest as a snuggle monster and couch companion. She thrives in a quiet, patient home where people are gentle and routines are calm. At first she’s shy and nervous; she’ll need multiple meet-and-greets to feel secure—but once she bonds, it’s for good. Sisu soaks up attention and sticks close, living for cuddles and silly play when she trusts you. She loves people but prefers to be your one-and-only and does not get along with cats, dogs, or younger children. Leash walks are still new for her, and she’s working to build confidence outside and around new things. A gentle, adult or teen-only home will let her personality shine. Sisu’s mellow spirit just needs a cozy couch, a kind human, and the time to feel safe. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
